Thanks to all who have participated so far. I can assure you I did our profession proud with the way I handled my dropping jaw line! Seriously, I was up front from the start. Before I put a hammer to pin, we discussed the instrument for about 5 minutes. That's how I found out how long between tunings it really had been..amungst other things. The age of the people that own this piano are not far in age to the piano itself. I guess my thing with this scenario is I would prefer to have them refuse an offer before leaving it behind with the home. How I left it with them was by giving them my business card, shaking the man's hand, asking him if he would call me before making any final decisions. He said he would think about what had taken place here today and would consider it. What surprises me more than anything about the responses so far is the fact that the alligatored case got a no mention from my esteemed colleague to the great NE of me...hmmmmmmmmm. Phil Bondi(Fl) >
